Orthopedics

Pediatric Orthopedics at Its Best

Nemours has one of the largest and most widely respected pediatric orthopedics practices in the United States — and the world. As an international leader in the field, Nemours is renowned for delivering advanced orthopedic care for children and teens since 1940. Our pediatric orthopedic surgeons and physicians are here to help restore function, improve quality of life, and prevent injury — to get kids back to being kids, no matter what their condition or injury.

Pediatric Orthopedic Conditions We Treat

We provide full-service care for children and teens with disorders and injuries involving the bones, joints, muscles and nerves, from the most common to the extremely rare. Some of the kids we see have complex needs, including chronic medical conditions that require integrated care with other specialties.

We see a full spectrum of conditions — far too many to list here. The conditions we treat vary depending upon the location and providers selected. Don’t see a condition listed? Call us.
